How much time can you receive for being 16 and having a gun and firing it at a dog being a 1st time offender

Were they already an offender ? Not suppose to have a gun ?

Normally it will also depend where you were shotting, like in your backyard with people around, or houses around.

Also understand that shooting a dog is in some states a serous offense, ( cruelty to animals) but it is I believe a crime in all states.

So it is most likely if you have a clean record, and the gun was properly owned and licensed, you will get probation,
Now the adult who owned the gun, have they been charged ?

Hello free:

25 years, and that's not long enough.

That's a felony in NY, complete with a heavy fine and jail time. I hope you live in NY.
